I do not know how > the file got corrupted. Could you try this? % cd .../emacs/leim % rm leim-list.el % make If it still generates a corrupted leim-list.el, please send me that file. No leim-list.el file is generated. For this experiment, I updated CVS Emacs to today. Day before yesterday, 21 Mar 2004, I built Emacs successfully, with changes to leim-list.el. This is the situation to which you are responding. Unfortunately when I tried to build again yesterday with yesterday's CVS update and using what I thought were the same instructions as the day before, the build failed. After much unsuccessful sleuthing, I gave up and reverted to the CVS Emacs of 15 March 2004, which built successfully. That is the version of Emacs I am using now. I did all the following in an xterm running BASH because nothing seemed to happen when I answered the question File leim-list.el was lost; check out from version control? (yes or no) either in the *compilation* buffer or in an Emacs shell. As you can see, a message appeared when I did this in an xterm. Here is what I did after first copying my March 15 CVS directory to an emacs-test/ directory: cd /usr/local/src/emacs-test cvs -z6 update -dP ## CVS updated at Tue, 2004 Mar 23 14:01 UTC cd leim rm leim-list.el ls -al leim-list.el ls: leim-list.el: No such file or directory make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. cd .. make distclean make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop. ./configure --with-type1 --with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-pop \ --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \ && time make bootstrap ## which generated an error: Loading vc-cvs... Loading vc-arch... Wrong type argument: stringp, nil make[1]: *** [autoloads] Error 255 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/emacs-test/lisp' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 ## then I did this cd leim ls -al leim-list.el ls: leim-list.el: No such file or directory make ## this generated lots of compilation results then this; Updating /usr/local/src/emacs-test/leim/leim-list.el ... Loading vc-cvs... Loading vc-arch... File leim-list.el was lost; check out from version control? (yes or no) yes Wrong type argument: stringp, nil make: *** [leim-list.el] Error 255 ## and finally, I looked again ls -al leim-list.el ls: leim-list.el: No such file or directory Hope this helps.
